Good Ounces Pay.

For marketing as well as for house use,
ounces should not be gathered until fully
ripe, as they do not ripen up In color and
favor like apples, pears and peaches, after
they are picked. If gathered too early the
ounce is comparatively worthless. If the
cultivator of the ounce does not desire at
once to dispose of his fruit, the later ripen-
ing sorts can be kept for long time by be-
ing carefully spread out in a cool chamber
till the frost necessitates their removal TO
the cellar With proper care ounces may
be kept till April in common cellars. OF
course with retarding-house conyeniences,
all fruits may be kept at viii. AS rule it
will be found that the best time 10 use OF
sell ounces is soon after they are ripe. II
kept too long, the demand fol them, az with
other fruits, ceases, and they are not sought
after.
There is always a market for ounces in
the large cities, and, if the quality is good,
at paying prices; but often the best market
will be in some of the smaller cities and
towns. The producer will find il advan-
tageous TO look out for such markets before
the fruit is ripe, so as to know just where
to send 1t when ready. That class of Gus
toners always wants the best fruit, and are
willing TO pay for il. The best is found in
the end TO be the cheapest.

The Poultry Yard in Autumn.

Mistake is made sometimes by poultry
fanciers, and those in the business as well,
in placing too many eggs under hen for
,brooding. No larger number than nine
can be set with perfect safety, in the au-
tumn; and, therefore, if it be desirable to
bring out many chickens, the art of man
aging two or more sitting hens at once
should be acquired In such case the fan
cier or breeder can put two broods together,
and, being careful about the night shelter,
there need be no difficulty in accommodate
ing so many broods as shall number twenty
to fifty chickens to the attention of a single
hen, particularly II the weather of the sea
son be reasonably mild and settled.
Late chickens should be cared for by theii
mother until few weeks old when they
can be placed together in well-sized box,
the open sides of which are covered by
coarse wire netting. The floor of the box
should be well-covered with fresh soil, and
have a simply made brooder at one end, for
the little things TO lun under at night.
Give the box place in the kitchen, for the
chicks can't get under your feet, nor can
rats or cats disturb them; SET box and con-
tents out in the sun when it shines warmly
change soil frequently, feed and watch the
brood carefully. In this way it will be not
difficult TO raise all successfully.
Do not keep too many old hens. Select
reliable sitters and mothers, as many are
needed for that purpose. Dispose of the
rest, and keep early hatched spring pullets
to lay in fall and winter.
For keeping brooding hens cleanly, invest
in good bunch of tobacco leaves; put a
few leayes under the sitting hens, and scat
ter them around the fowl house; tie some
lunches on the sides also, and their will be
no trouble from yerlnin.

Improving Seed Wheat

A prominent seed firm in England is re-
ported to be making important expert
ments" in crossing varieties of wheat. This
is done with view TO obtain kinds which
shall be better suited 10 the particular con-
ditions of soil and climate of various sec
tions of England, than any varieties now
grown. The most experienced wheat grow
ers of this country have long been convinced
that our varieties are better than our cul-
ture, and that our farmers need better
preparation of the soil rather than new va
rieties of wheat. Every farmer can greatly
improve the variety he Is growing, by giY-
ing proper attention to his seed. Let him
devote patch or part of a field TO raising
seed. This should have special fertilizlng,
and the seed should be in rows far enough
apart to allow Of eultiyating between them.
Thin the plants in the rows so as TO give
each one abundant room, ard pull ont all
inferior and badly developed plants Be
fore harvesting go through and remove all
that have short and poor ears. Thrash this
wheat by itself, aud in wInnowing take
pains 70 blow The light grains away from
the heavier ones. BY following this course
for several years allowing each plant 10 do
its part, great improvement will result, aud
valuable strain, II not variety, viii be
establi4hed.

Care Of work Horses.


Frequently the farm horse suffers from
oyerieeding, and from being worked on a
full stomach; for farm horses eat all the
time, and look lean and wire coated-two
certain proofs of chronic indigestion.
Horses which have passed many hours in
work, when released from harness are
allowed to drink all The water their ex-
housted systems crave for; then, with the
material of a small iceberg in their distend-
ed inner organs, they are turned loose TO
further injure themselves by grazing in the
pasture; or, il the farmer is well TO do, they
go TO the barn, and there, tormented by
flies, mousquitoes, and other winged pests
devour carelessly prepared ration, after
which the remainder of the night is passed
in stamping and fighting insects. Farm
horses are overfed, commonly, insufficient
ly groomed and never judciously eithei
housed or clothed. In summer, farm work
ought to commence with the rising of the
sun, and cease at noon, when men and
horses should seek the friendly shelter Of
the house and stable. The horses just from
the field ought then TO be stripped of al
harness, have their eyes and nostrils washed
out, the marks of the harness also washet
off, and then be well rubbed with "wisp
